If alert un-mutes itself then it most likely means that the alert cleared and is then triggered again.
Please review eventlog as it will tell you in there.

You can change the Device Type by going to the device you would like to change, then click on the Gear Icon -> Edit.
If you would like to define custom types, we suggest using [Device Groups](/Extensions/Device-Groups/). They will be listed in the menu similarly to device types.

If you've changed your database credentials then you will need to update LibreNMS with those new details.
Please edit both `config.php` and `.env`
config.php:
```php
$config['db_host'] = '';
$config['db_user'] = '';
$config['db_pass'] = '';
$config['db_name'] = '';
```
.env:
```bash
DB_HOST=
DB_DATABASE=
DB_USERNAME=
DB_PASSWORD=
DB_PORT=
```
